Chris Jericho, Orange Cassidy, and Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) are garnering rave backstage reviews in AEW right now.

This story comes to us via a new report from EWrestlingNews.com, who report that the quartet attracted "heavy praise for their work at the most recent set of Dynamite tapings," with Best Friends and Cassidy getting it done between the ropes and Jericho filling in on commentary.

Best Friends felled Kip Sabian and Jimmy Havoc on last night's Dynamite, besting them in a no disqualifications, no countouts match.

The same site also claims that AEW has big, big plans to utilise Matt Hardy and his Broken Universe over the coming weeks. This is corroborated by PWInsider, and next week's Dynamite will see Hardy team with Kenny Omega to face Jericho and Sammy Guevara.

As far as Jericho's commentary goes, PWInsider note that 'Le Champion' did all of it off the top of his head with less than 24 hours preparation, recording the bulk of it in a single seven-hour stint with Tony Schiavone. Impressive stuff, particularly when considering that Jericho has been one of the most consistently enjoyable things about AEW through this tricky empty arena era.
